Dubbed by his fans as "America's comedy crusader," Albers rants about American politics and pop culture in a style described by the New York Post as "audaciously original." His subjects in the show range from the selection of Supreme Court Justices to an astrological imbalance in Congress. He also rants about James Bond, Corvettes, The Golden Girls, big weddings and the Lincoln Tunnel. He sings comedy parody songs about American icons Dr. Phil, Britney Spears and Cher -not to mention such American institutions as Wal-Mart and "The View" and the State of Oklahoma.

At the 2003 MAC Awards at Symphony Space, Albers won the Best Male Stand-up Comedian Award for the second straight year. The MAC Awards, sponsored by the Manhattan Association of Cabaret and Clubs, are presented annually to honor achievements in live entertainment.
